The flower buds are encapsulated in elongated, spiky green, finger-like sepals (or calyx) that fold over and protect the developing petals. The pod-shaped flower buds look like elongated green pinecones with red margins on the sepals. Dragon Fruit flower buds can grow up to ten inches in length before the flower emerges and must be harvested prior to the bloom. Once the Dragon Fruit flower has bloomed, the flower dies to allow for the fruit to develop. The Dragon Fruit plant will develop at least seven “flushes” of buds on its stems over the course of one season. The buds are most often cooked before consuming and have a cactus-like taste, similar to a nopal or prickly pear cactus paddle. The flavor is also likened to that of asparagus.
